Artists: ages 6-21


An update about life before Africa:

Things I've seen or made or played or eaten or drank or done or bought or been asked or found:

Birds and bugs in Eugene. Bicycle rides that last for hours. Cajun tots and a Ruby. 7-pages papers about kitchen rags. Disposable camera. Climbing the columns. Nagging Jess. Stalling the Subaru. Baking every-berry-you-can-think-of pie.

Scolding misbehaving 12-year-olds. Cutting up toilet paper rolls late into the night. Children who make papier mache gas masks. The game of tag for the first time in 10 years. What color is a cantaloupe? 6-year-olds are artists, too.

Shots in the arm. A bright yellow visa stamp. Donated my hair. Longer skirts. J'ai besoin de practiquer mon francais! Malaria prophylaxis. Travel-sized computer. God's Bits of Wood. One very long airplane ticket.

(Pictures of meat screenprints can be found above.)
